:The new Defiant has lived up to all early reviews on the left & right side. As a Senior Lefty Stroker I found the ball is super both dull & shined...My dull ball has a 3 inch pin below ring finger & CG is kicked out 1 inch. My polished ball has the pin 1 inch left of ring finger..On house shot the shine gets the ball out & down lane on the dry with a strong back end. 3 700's in 1st 3 weeks of use. In a local Senior 9 game tournament changing lanes each game I used the dull box surface. I was able to stay in the oil & go straight up 12-13 and the ball went long with a smooth back end to the pocket & 10 in the pit, as a 290-2310 total for the win can attest. All other lefties were out in the dry & left lots of 7 pins...Larry Hoffman, RG Advisory Staff..
